Shri D.N. Kukdey, Advocate for the appellant. Ms Shreya Bhagat, Advocate for respondent Nos.1 to 3. CORAM :

G.A. SANAP, J.

DATE :

18.03.2024 This is an application filed by respondent Nos. 1 to 3-claimants for withdrawal of the amount of compensation in terms of the judgment and award passed by the Motor Accident Claims, Tribunal, Amravati. 2.

Learned Advocate for the appellant-Insurance Company submits that since the Insurance Company has challenged the appeal, 50% amount may be allowed to withdraw on furnishing usual undertaking.

3.

I have gone through the record and proceedings. Respondent Nos.1 to 3/claimants have been found entitled to get the compensation. The compensation has been determined on appreciation of the evidence on record. The accident in question occurred in 2014. 4.

Respondent Nos.1 to 3 are held entitled to get the compensation. In my view, simply because of filing of the

27 fa 281.22.odt..odt appeal, the right of the claimants cannot be foreclosed. As such, the application is partly allowed.

5.

The respondent Nos.1 to 3-claimants are allowed to withdraw 80% of the amount of compensation subject to furnishing usual undertaking to the effect that in case the appeal is decided against the respondents then respondent Nos.1 to 3 will deposit the amount with interest, as directed by this Court.

6.

Application stands disposed of, accordingly.
